Smiley --
For, the past - six or seven
months I've been thrown, per-
force, into the company of large
obs of teen agers. It was the
Ane thing about teaching of
which I. was leery. Like most
other people, I was fed up to
fhe ,ears with taik about teen,-
lgers.
It seemed as though they had
almost taken over our society.
We read lurid acceunts of vic-
ious' delinquents and teen-age
mothers. We listened to the
crude beat of their favorite
music, and watched oily punks
with sickening hair -dos sob it
into microphones. And even on
the more wholesome side, it
became monotonous, with the
constant emphasis on teen -towns
and teen -clubs and teen -fashions
Ind hi -news. -
* *
Mind, I had nothing personal.
against them, though they seem-
ed more than necessarily insol-
ent, unkempt and unlovable. I
was just bored by all the fuss
made over them. Perhaps I
was a little envious. Nobody
had been very enthusiastic
about us when we were teen-
agers, I mused. -
At any rate, I was somewhat
less than enthralled at the pros-
pect of being thrown into the
pit with them every working
day. In fact, I was downright
aghast at the idea.
: * *
I know what you think. You
think I'm leading up to- the con-
fession that I've changed my
mind completely, that I've swal-
lowed°.the__teen-age:tytw. whole,:
that I think they're just a swell
bunch of youngsters, a little
mixed-up and crazy, but pretty
darn wonderful underneath it
all.
Not at all. • No such pap. But
when you cope with a couple
of hundred of them every day,
and then reel home to try to
handle one of your own; you're
bound to 'develop' some reaction
to them a little stronger • than
mere annoyance.
My own responses vary be-
tween quaking rage, when I can
barely,gkeep m3; hands away
from their ears, and waves of
warm, benevolence; when I find
them absolutely lovable, and
would do anything in my power
to make them happy or help
them.
• 4 *
Not strangely, it's when they
are 'acting' Most like adults` that
they are most unbearable. And
it's ' when they are, most like
children that they are most de-
lightful. It figures, eh?
* :R
When they try to build a
wall like that behind which most
of us terrified adults crouch
they are selfish, cruel, vain,
sneerirlg, pompous, perfidious,
sneaky "and cold. But when,
they're not trying to keep from
being hurt, they're like a dif-
ferent species—loyal, courteous,
honest, genei'ous, eager, fair,
high -principled. • ,
4. * * i
Parents, even the most calm
and sane of them, can never
quite adjust to this fact—that
their teen-agers are true Jekyll -
Hyde -i. • As a result, they do
all the wrong things. They roar
at them" when the kids want to
act like adults. They spoil them
silly when the kids act like
angels. They throw up their
hands_• when they should be
throwing down the gauntlet.
And so on.
* * *
Even teachers, after years of
exposure, are not immune. Just
the other day one of, them
strode into the staff room,
purple in the face, and roared,
'! 1ther that kid by -god, goes or
I `go!" And five minutes later,
when several had agreed that
young Joe was a veritable mon-
ster, same • teacher was hotly
defending 'young Joe as "not a
bad kid, really, underneath."
• 3 *
These viers on "teen-agers, of
.course, are only- generalities,.
based en a few months' observ-
ation. There are some teen-
agers who are plain slobs, ment-
ally and physically, and .like it
that way. There are others who
are astoundingly mature. The
first class will . become the
drones of our society." .The
second will make our leaders.
And in 'between comes the
vast majority, even as you and
I. These' are the kids who are
a little lazy, but work enough
to get by, who are a little crook-
edbut wouldn't tai tbef•pen-
vies ofl a blind- •man's eyes,
who are soft as egg -yolk inside,
bat tough on the surface, who
are basically_ kind, but can • be
cruel as broken glass. Recognize
them? These are the irate .tax-
payers, the grumbling workers
the confused parents, the har-
assed citizens of .a few years
from now.
:h *
I'm glad I'm not a psycholo-
gist, trying to analyze them, to
excuse them for their faults, to
find a reason for everything
they do. It's far more fun just
watching them, changing your
mind about them every two
days, (paving them catch you flat-
footed getting sore at them, teas-
ing them, praising them, and
roa,ingat them.
:N $: ,
Then, of course, there's the
tremendous-- -accolade- one --gets
once in a while. I'm sure it is
the thing that keeps most teach-
ers going long after the flesh
is faint. Just last week I got
sort of warm and soft all over
when I overheard one • of my
students tell another, "Ah,
Smiley's not a bad old type.
Got some temper, though."
One wise teacher told me
early in the game, "All you
have to do is remember that
they're just people." He was
right, "of course,— but- it was like
saying to Clyde Beattie as he
stepped into the cage the first
time, "All you have to do is
remember that they're just
ions/'

April brings out
"April -
:
Foolishness"!
April is a- time of year when
you have to be extra careful
on the roads and -highways.
The fine spring weather and
the roads bare of snow tempt
some drivers to be foolish and
step on the gas.
Wise drivers remember to be
careful during April and at
all other times of the year
too! a
But wise drivers know they
might get involved in an ac-
cident no matter how carefully
they drive themselves.' So
they remember to carry ade-
quate automobile insurance
to help them against costs of
damage -done to or by their
car
accidental injury to thein -
'selves or members Of their
families.

insurance' for careful drivers
